Why small businesses switch

Why Small Businesses Choose CertTracker Over Certemy

Enterprise power you don't need, at enterprise prices you shouldn't pay.

No demo, no sales call, no enterprise contract

Certemy is sold like enterprise software because it is enterprise software. If you just need to know whose CDL expires next month, you shouldn’t need a discovery call to get there. Sign up for CertTracker and start tracking today.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers about pricing, fit, and when Certemy is actually the right call.

Is Certemy only for enterprise?

Certemy positions itself for professional certification boards, state licensing boards, government agencies, and large employers that need credentialing and compliance automation. Its sales process is demo-led and its pricing is enterprise-grade — third-party listings cite around $5,000 per year.

How much does Certemy cost compared to CertTracker?

Certemy publishes public per-user pricing: Standard Track $3.00/user/month ($2.40 billed yearly) and Enterprise Track & Manage $6.00/user/month ($4.80 billed yearly), plus Primary Source Verification at $1.00 per PSV ($0.80 yearly); third-party listings cite ~$5,000/year enterprise minimums. CertTracker publishes its pricing: $49/month Starter (50 employees), $99/month Pro (200 employees), and $149/month Business (unlimited) — all with a 14-day free trial and no credit card required. Pricing data as of November 2026.

When is Certemy the better choice?

If you are a licensing board or agency that needs automated primary source verification — validating credentials directly with issuing boards — Certemy is purpose-built for that and CertTracker does not offer it. For internal employee certification tracking at a small or mid-size business, CertTracker is the simpler and far cheaper fit.

Can a small business just buy Certemy directly?

Certemy’s buying process is sales-led, which is designed for enterprise evaluation cycles. Small businesses that want self-serve signup, transparent pricing, and same-day setup typically find that friction hard to justify.

How do I switch from Certemy to CertTracker?

Export your credential records and send them to us — our team will import your employees and certifications for free as part of onboarding. Most migrations are completed within 48 hours, and you can run the 14-day free trial in parallel before canceling anything.
